Chlamydia

Chlamydia is known as a 'silent' infection because most infected people have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may not appear until several weeks after exposure. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and many men also have no symptoms of chlamydia. You can feel very healthy and still have it, you have no way of knowing you have an infection unless you get tested. The symptoms are chlamydia are the same as the symptoms of other STIs, and so you can't tell them apart without testing. Testing is easy and painless. If people do have symptoms, they might include the following:

For Women:

• Urethritis - This is when the urethral lining becomes inflamed.
• An inflamed cervix, which causes a slight increase in vaginal discharge or irregular vaginal bleeding, especially after sex. The discharge is usually yellowish.
• Irregular menstrual bleeding
• Urination becomes more frequent
• Pain while urinating
• Mild pain in the lower abdomen
• Eye irritation and painful swelling
• A burning or itchy feeling around the vagina

For Men:

• Pain or burning sensation when urinating. This is usually the first symptom.
• A watery, white, cloudy discharge from the penis' tip, that usually stains their underwear
• Swollen, tender and painful testicles
• Itching and burning around the penis' opening
• Eye irritation and redness
• Crust forming on the tip of the penis
• Painful and tender anus

Actually, a good percentage of men can be positive for this bacteria without ever knowing...until a female partner comes up positive. Females can even have this particular bacteria for a long time before showing any symptoms. As far as men are concerned, the bacteria can be completely silent. Some men do have symptoms, but definitely not all. I hope this helps you.

As an addendum to the above, chlamydia is estimated to be asymptomatic in up to 75% of women and 50% of men. It does not, to my knowledge, simply go away without treatment. In other words, you can be asymptomatic for months, even years, and continue to spread the disease to others. Often times, when symptoms do come about, they are symptoms of complications of the disease. In women, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease may develop as a result of chlamydia. In men, epidydimtis may develop. Men may also develop prostatitis, though this is somewhat controversial because it often times is not an infection of the prostate, but rather the urethral pathway that passes through the prostate that becomes infected. In either case, infertility is the end result if treatment isn't sought.

20% to 30% of patients infected with chlamydia are also infected with gonorrhea, so I would recommend you get tested for both. Gonorrhea, unlike chlamydia, is usually symptomatic in men, though initially the symptoms are usually so mild that they go unnoticed.

Don't be ashamed to get tested for chlamydia. For men, testing involves a urine sample. Be sure to avoid urinating at least two hourse beforehand to ensure full accuracy, and catch the first part of the urine stream. In the event that you are infected, both you and your partner need to be treated at the same time, otherwise the infection may bounce back and forth between the two of you, causing chronic reinfection. It would also be a good idea to inform past sexual partners, as well. When telling your partner that you are infected, honesty is the best policy. It will go a long way in relieving their fear and doubt, and it goes a long way in establishing trust between you and your partner. If you find it difficult to explain to your partner, I'm sure your physician would be more than happy to talk with your partner and/or to provide sources of information. Getting treated for an STI is not about placing blame or putting someone on trial. It's about ensuring the physical well-being of everyone involved, as well as their emotional and mental well-being.

You may want to consider being restested 3 or 4 months after treatment. Testing before this will only give you inaccurate results. 3 to 4 weeks after treatment, you will test positive, but this doesn't necessarily mean you are still infected. Between one and three months, you may get false negatives, meaning you are actually still infected, but the test isn't picking it up.

The only way to absolutely ensure that you do not get chlamydia is to avoid sexual contact. In other words abstinence. In cased where abstinence is not possible, having a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship will ensure that chlamydia is not spread further. If you are not in either of these categories, you should use a latex or polyurethane condom correctly and cosistently. It is important to remember that although condoms reduce the transmission of most STIs dramatically, including chlamydia, they are NOT 100% effective.
Yes, it is possible.

It is a protozoa infection.
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a protozoa or parasite.
Trich is a STD caused by a protozoa.
Trich (trichomoniasis) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a protozoa.
Trichomoniasis, sometimes referred to as "trich"(not trick)is a common STD. It is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis is primarily an infection of the genitourinary tract; the most common site of infection is the urethra and the vagina in women. It is most common in women and uncircumcised men. For uncircumcised men, the most common site for the infection is the tip of the penis.
Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted disease. It often does not have a lot of symptoms so people can be infected for a long time without knowing it.
its a sexual transmitted infection cause by parasite but it can also be transmitted throughout underwear if some has it a wear your underware you can catch it too or if you practise oral sex an you have a cut in your mouth you can catch it like that as soon as you find out that you have contracted that infection go to your doctor it is very treatable but if left alone it can cause problem wit getting pregnant.
It is a sexually transmitted decease
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection that in women can cause a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination. Men who have trichomoniasis typically have no symptoms. Pregnant women who have trichomoniasis are at higher risk of delivering prematurely.

To prevent reinfection with the organism that causes trichomoniasis, both partners should be treated. The most common treatment for trichomoniasis involves taking one megadose of metronidazole (Flagyl). Infection can be prevented by using condoms and spermicide.
yes

This question has three aspects:

How long do you take medication to cure chlamydia?

Length of treatment depends on the medication and the clinical situation. For uncomplicated chlamydia, the first-choice treatments are azithromycin 1 gram in a single dose (one time treatment) or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for seven days.

When can you count on the germ being cleared after treatment?

If you took the single-dose treatment with azithromycin, the CDC recommendations are to abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex, even with a condom, until seven days has passed. If you took a seven-day treatment, you can consider yourself cured when the treatment is complete. Do not have any kind of sex, even with a condom, until both you and all partners have completed the seven days.

Repeat infection with chlamydia is common. Persons whose sex partners have not been appropriately treated are at high risk for re-infection. Having multiple chlamydial infections increases a woman's risk of serious reproductive health complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy. Women and men with chlamydia should be retested about three months after treatment of an initial infection, regardless of whether they believe that their sex partners were successfully treated.

When can you prove you're cured by getting retested?

Because of the way that the most commonly-used chlamydia tests work, your test will still be positive for up to three weeks after treatment, even if you are not contagious. However, the CDC does not recommend immediate retesting to prove the treatment worked; treatment is effective enough that test of cure is not needed. However, retesting to check for reinfection, as noted above, is recommended for all patients, regardless of treatment.
Chlamydia can stay in your system for seven days after the single-dose treatment, or during the seven days required for other treatment. You should abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex during this time so you are not reinfected.

There's really no easy way to tell someone you love that you have an STD. So, the best way is to sit down with her, be honest, and just tell her.

"hey partner! i have std!"
Be straightforward and come out with it.

umm just tell them. I've been working in the medical field for many years and have seen it all! It is very important to let your partner know this because it can cause infertility and sometimes even death if left untreated.
First and without exception, you must tell him! This is critical!! Just be open, direct, and honest. I can't tell you how important this is! Please tell him! Then make sure you and him get medical attention as soon as possible.
Honestly and quickly. If he does not want to share your health problem it's best he know as soon as possible.
Just go up to them and be like yo you gave me a STD. Just lie

HPV is the most common viral STD; chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD.
Herpes
The answer to this question varies by location, however in the United States the most commonly reported STI is the Human Papilloma virus.
Chlamydia is the most common bacterial infection.
Viral is HPV (genital warts); bacterial is chlamydia.
Gonorhhoea
Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial infection in the US.
I would guess it's the yeast infection. HPV, the human papilloma virus, is also very common. HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, is epidemic in some countries.

The most common STD is either HPV or chlamydia. The first Related Link (see below) says it's HPV, while the second Related Link says it's chlamydia. The last two simply say that both are very common, but HPV "might be" the most common.
HPV( human papalionian virus ) genital warts

HIV is a retro virus that has a very short lifespan especially when exposed to air.

For someone to acquire HIV from a toilet seat there would have to be some extremely FRESH biological matter present (semen) and the person who sits on this deposit of matter would have to have an open wound that makes direct contact with the semen.

I say semen because the concentration of the HIV disease in other bio waste is not high enough to be viable.

To sum it up......it is close to impossible to get AIDS (HIV) from a toilet seat.

Supporting answer from WikiAnswers contributor:

• The HIV virus is actually a quite delicate, easily killed virus. It does not survive outside of its human carriers for more than short periods. Specifically, drying kills it. When different solutions were tested to determine what should be recommended as the universal cleanser for body fluid secretions, every solution tested(alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, betadine, Bactine,etc) were effective. Bleach was chosen since it is so cheap, ubiquitous, and safe. Unless someone just left some wet body fluid, and you had a transfer to a mucous membrane or open wound, it would be possible. It really would take quite a large innoculum (viral load) before there would be a statistically possible transfer. Health care workers have these minor exposures all the time. If it were this deadly, we all would have been gone a long time ago.
